Modifying dimensions once after they have been added

Post by kpachodap »

I am using Sweet Home 3D 64 bit version for Windows. I am able to add dimensions to my floor plan, but after the dimension is added I do not see any option to select and modify or even delete the dimension. How can I accomplish this?

You can modify dimensions only with the mouse.
If you want to enter a precise value, type <Enter> when you initially draw it. See included help for more information.

Select the dimension with the cursor, hit DEL to delete it.
Drag one of the sides to modify it.

It is not possible to modify it by typing a different value that autoscales the dimension.

1. Install AdvancedEditingPlugin ;
2. Select dimension (or other thing) then click Resizes all selected items... button.

I use this frequently to insert more accurate dimensions.
Also pay attention to position buttons.
